| Annotation | Drawing on the experience of the Medicare Alzheimer's Disease Demonstration and other work, this paper provides suggestions for extending care and financing considerations to include health care use and the medical management of chronic health conditions. Basic research is needed to document current use and risk factors, as is experimentation with clinical and other interventions designed to achieve desired quality of care and cost outcomes. The paper also reviews the US state role in regulating and financing nursing homes, home and community based care, and residential care. All these sectors have high rates of staff turnover, staff shortages, and concerns with quality of care. (RH). |
